Grizzly G0524 Circuit Requirements, Voltage & Amperage Draw, Circuit Breaker, Connection Type

SECTION 3: CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS

Voltage & Amperage

Draw

The following list outlines the electrical phase and voltage required to operate the rip saw, as well as the amperage draw of the motors:

Pre-Wired For 220V, 3-Phase
15 HP Main Motor	37	Amps
2 HP Feed Motor	6	Amps
Rewired For 440V, 3-Phase
15 HP Main Motor	18.5	Amps
2 HP Feed Motor	3	Amps

Circuit Breaker

Use the following guidelines when choosing a circuit breaker (circuit breakers rated any higher are not adequate to protect the circuit):

220V 3-Phase	45 Amp, 3 Pole
440V 3-Phase	25 Amp, 3 Pole

Connection Type

Because of the high amperage draw from this machine, we recommend that you hardwire it directly to your circuit breaker and install a lock- ing shut-off lever (Figure 1) near the machine as a way to quickly disconnect the power.

Circuit Capacity

Always check to see if the wires in your circuit are capable of handling the amperage draw from your machine, as well as any other machines that could be operating on the same circuit. If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

If the circuit breaker trips or the fuse blows regu- larly, your machine may be operating on a cir- cuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity. However, if an unusual amperage draw does not exist and a power failure still occurs, contact a qualified electrician.
